[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone named Butch isn’t being raised by people who care about manners or ethics. [/quote] [b]This. The question is what type of people would choose those names. [/b] For example, I’d be willing to bet money that black people with classical names do better in life than the ones with the “unique” spelling names, despite them both having the same skin, because it shows the attitudes of the parents and how the kids are growing up.[/quote] Freakanomics has a really interesting chapter on names. Parents who named their kid Amcher after the Albany Medical Center from seeing it on a hospital sign as the mother was wheeled in. How well will a child be raised if his parents did not even bother to pick a name? A never do well dad who thought it would be funny to name one son Winner and the other Loser. Winner became a career criminal and Loser went by Lou and became a police offer. [/quote]
